CHARLESTON, WEST VA, Feb. 1S.-The
racket raised on Friday in the joint Assem-.
bly, OF the Legislature to vote for United
States Senator and tho talk Of prospect
I've break with the uncertainty as to what
would result from the caucus OF Friday
night had the effect Of attracting to the
hall Of the House Saturday the largeat
crowd yet seen there. Several hundred
ladies wore In the audience, which filled
every inch OF available space and lei! bare
room for Senators when they arrived
promptly on the stros Of 12. ~
IS The visitors evidently expected senss-
ton Of some sort, or had been deferred
from attending former sessions by the fear
that Senator Morris would make speech,
q danger now past. The session was very
quiet and formal, however, the fun all
having occurred before 1t begun. rE
There was possibility Of Csmdon's
election Saturday, or at least he would
have been nearer an election than ever be-
fore had not several Of bis adheronts gone
home. Senator Brown and Mr.. Grow ar.
rived in the forenoon, having como by
special train from Parkersburg to Point
Pleasant. Had their coming been known,
the other caucus Democrats would have
been kept here and Camden would haye
lacked but three votes Of msjority. The
arrival OF the abBentees WAS announced by
kilograms from Messrs. Jones aud McKin-
ney, who came as far as Parkersburv with
them, aud for time the anti Camden
forces feared trick Of some kind, but a
connt OF noses reassured them. Their
conference and counting in turn rendered
the Camden men uneasy, and for while
the situation was very funny.
Delegates Jones and Mckinney arrived
to-day, claiming the beet end of the
special train joke since Brown and Grow
had their trouble for nothing.
Senator Camden went to Washington
this morning and expects to return Wed.
nesday. It is understood he has gone to
consult with some Of the national leaders
OF the Democrsctic party there as to the
best course to pursue. The Republicans
and Greenbacker5 will tomorrow vote for

NonoDy was able to give any reliable es.
innate Of the number Of peraona who
would come forward as claimants under
the dependent pension bill, and therefore
it was imposaible to form any idea Of the
amount OF money that would be required
to satisfy the claims. This is fatal OBJ
lection to the bill and the President did
well to veto it, notwithstanding it passed
Congress by 60 large majority. There is
good reason TO believe that many who
voted ior tho measure in Congress did 30
in the belief that it would be vetoed. It
is not possible that it will be passed over

TIE astonishing statement is made that
the Queen Of England has ordered from
France nearly three million handkerchief
bearing her portrait, to be distributed on
the occasion OF her jubilee. At frat we
took this rs little joke, but we see it
gravsly stated in so many newspapers that
no must accept it as being no slander on
Her Britsnic Majesty. There was time
when British sovereign would not have
sen. to France for memorials of a royal
jubilee, nor, until free trade killed the
handkerchief iudustry in England, would
that have been necessary.

slR:-Steamboatmen, who frequently

sincere regret OF the retirement of Mr.. J,

Asa rule, q government official, whether

an inferior RAGS OF beings; especially is
this tho case in the marine departments

The simple matter Of making transfsr Of
